How do I invoke a servlet from HTML or ASP page?

Hi,

I'm new to servlet programming. I need the syntax to invoke a servlet from
HTML or ASP page. I'm taking
an input on the page like Name. And I want to pass this as a parameter to
the servlet and the servlet
verifies whether there was some name written or not. Accordingly it says
Hello + user name or displays a
message "You did not enter anything"

Thanks in advance

It's just a URL, as if you were asking the Web server to send a page. It's
usually something like http://www.infogain.com/servlet/HelloThere but look
in the documentation for the Web server that's hosting the servlets for
details.
